“Instagram Instagram Instagram, it's all about Instagram now” well not quite all about Instagram, but Instagram, Facebook, Pintrest, Tumbler and the various Blogs.. Yes, Social Media Networking is a hungry beast that must be fed daily.

Personal Work - Urban landscape Brisbane (& a shopping trolley too..)

When I came back to photography after what I only half jokingly refer to as my ten year(ish) sabbatical from photography, I began by photographing the urban landscape. It was urban landscape photographs arranged as diptych and triptych images that were the subject of my first solo photography exhibition Three Roads Night.

Then a moody urban landscape diptych of single power poles was selected for inclusion in the prestigious Blake Prize in 2004; something I had dreamed of but never thought could happen! When I set up my Flickr account, (Flickr was the first true photo-sharing web 2.0 social networking platform; My Space was more for musicians & school kids..) it was to showcase my urban landscape style of images. And it was on Flickr that I also had my first experience of alienating my audience when I made a return to fashion and started showing fashion images as well as the urban landscapes and abstract imagery; the change (return?) didn't go down well with everyone. Now I think that not only has Flickr changed, a lot.. the people who do follow me over there are well aware of my photographic proclivities which extend to people and clothing as well as inanimate objects and the urban landscape. I enjoy all the forms of photography I work in and they cross over and inform one another, though not always in an explicit way. This shot was made last week at a shopping centre in Brisbane, on the way to my sisters.. When opportunity knocks, grab it with both hands.

Men's Modelling Portfolio - Suits, Fitness and Fashion..

Fitness is the new fashion for men and women; and a suit.. well the styles change but suits are more in fashion that they been for a long time. But before taking a single picture; I talk with you, usually on the phone about what you are going to bring along to the shoot. The main thing that happens in this conversion is I get a feeling for the direction you want to go with modelling, and I make sure you are bringing enough gear for us to style the shoot. Something I have also been doing for quite a while now is to make you a set of  'agency digitals', pretty much as soon as you walk in the studio. Street clothes, some good daylight, tight shot, full length, side on.. the basic basics! These shots are your package bonus that you can email around as the 'snaps' everyone wants to see these days. Only these snaps are a little better.. That's the first three shots below! All these pictures are from the Pro Modelling Package which includes photographing 5 looks and a comp card, full details here.
